From the tribunal's valuation
Whilst, in the interest of justice, the Tribunal would wish to allow parties to fully present their submissions there must come a time in every case by which each party will fully present their case. Neither party requested a hearing. … The Tribunal notes that the Landlord was professionally represented and her Agent had completed Form 1A in response to the Application on her behalf. This was the time to make such representations as the Agent felt appropriate. … The Tribunal notes that the Tenant had made her original submission and had already had the opportunity to respond to the Landlord by submitting Form 1B. This was the time for her to make such representations as she felt appropriate. … Accordingly, the Tribunal decided that it would not grant either party permission to make additional representations. … Having due regard to the comparables provided and relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject property modernised and in reasonable order at the date specified in the Notice would be in the order of £1,550 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market if it was in the same general condition as the comparable properties including having white goods, flooring and curtains provided by the landlord. …
